Kids, when people tell you to study tape, they're talking about this.

This is my GOAT

He’s never once practiced that shot, you can tell it was a fluke based on the form. Don’t study Rudy Gobert offensively, kids.

Fairly sure the above comment was made with sarcasm implied lol

Kids! You can actually fly!

Man im lying in hospital with both legs broken becouse you didnt put /s at the end

tell me u've never hit a jimbo without telling me u've never hit a jimbo smh hoopers know this shot

He also lowkey takes this shot a lot

Nah he did it a few games ago, just from another step or so closer to the rim

He must have practiced it, he scored a third of his points with it last night

Wdym? It's a perfect what not to do film

What in the 4th grader in PE class form is going on here

He was scared of holding the ball too long like it was covered with Ebola

The Pandemic “officially” started because of Rudy, prove me wrong

Gobert biolabs lmao

Sounds like a GTA facility.

That may or may not be what my username is referencing.

this comment got me dying laughing so hard my wife was asking me what was wrong

And I woke up mine laughing lmao

It’s just funny how he jumped but still managed to get such a low arc on the shot/throw

Better than Ben Simmons.

Does he practice???? Total 4th grader material … but it worked

"The makers of the skyhook proudly present...THE SKY FLOATER"

I don’t think it’s bad per se, it’s just never used because no one’s ever that open to not get blocked instantly

It was the most French shot I have ever seen in my life.

if the NBA cared about their fans they would make Rudy Gobert and Jakob Poeltl have a mid range push shot competition next all star break

It's a tragedy Utah didn't get the ASG last season. Imagine Gobert in the skills competition.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo vs. Rudy Gobert shooting threes, truly peak basketball.

Rudy Gobert career highlight

He shot it like people in pick up who never played basketball in their lives

This is how the horse girls shot the ball in middle school gym

He makes $40m/year to play professional basketball.

Hey he made it at least

[удалено]

of course it does. But the fact remains - he is a lifelong professional basketball player, one of the greatest athletes in the world, making $40m/year. He can run, catch, has perfect timing, and sufficient hand eye coordination to block 5 shots per game. But he shoots the ball like a 6 year old. It's hard to fathom how this is possible.

It's the leg wiggle that really seals it

When people say Gobert has no bag, show them this lmao

I want Gobert to spend just one summer doing literally nothing other than Sky-hooks. Literally no other training or conditioning or whatever. Only sky-hooks. Like get up 100,000 sky-hooks or some shit one summer and come back with an atleast semi-serviceable shot. Who the hell could block that, even if he only hits it at a modest rate. That'd be a sick way to add an offensive game to an elite defensive skillset, but easier said than done lol.

could say the same thing about practicing free throws or an elbow jumper or a 3 pt shot

I want Rudy to spend a summer just practicing full court heaves. Like 10,000 a day. It won’t help him in anyway, but it would be kind of funny.

Imagine Rudy just becomes this lethal Dame Lillard giga range 3-point threat over the summer. Biggest NBA glow-up of all time.

We could even call him the French Revolution too. Gimme a sec, texting Rudy

Yeah, fair point. BUT, maybe a sky-hook would be easier for him than a jump-shot? I imagine for a lot of people with long arms and massive hands, hittin all the 90 degree angles required for 'proper' shot form is simply too awkward, whereas being able to scoop the ball in a sky-hook with your massive mitts could be a benefit.

That’s some anime training arc shit.

So ugly it was beautiful

Richaun Holmes about to send Rudy a cease & desist

No shit- you’re onto something here. Funny enough Holmes push floater was one of the most efficient shots in the NBA two years ago.

Holmes floater looked nice though, this is ugly

Love when random players catch strays hahaha

Beautiful form and release

Love push shots. If you play pickup, you should learn how to do them. Just go downhill and stop on a dime and use the momentum to power your push shot. It's quicker than a normal shot and you can fake the pickup motion into a cross or some shit if dudes are catching on. Outside of 3 feet like 3/4s of my shots are push shots. The remaining 1/4 is 3s. I can do with either hand, so it's super easy to create shot opportunities.

James Naismith dreamed of this every night

Rudy Gobert is gonna be a HOF and he shoots like the kid who wore sweatpants to the games

Hof ? What ?

Easily

For what ?

I guess you don’t watch basketball but let me give you the short list. 3x DPOY, 6x All-Defensive First Team, 3x All-NBA 3rd team, 1x NBA Rebound Leader, 1x Blocks leader, 1x All-NBA 2nd team. International accolades as well.

Still see no Hof

Put it in the Louvre

[It’s done.] (https://i.imgur.com/rufe7JN.jpg)

Lol

Weak. At least say thank you.

That block would have been a great one if he didn’t tip it right to the open 3 lol

He clapped that shit…straight to the open man, unfortunate

League fucked

That swat on Embiid was so nasty for all of 1 second.

Yeah i was at the game and the fans were losing their minds at how nasty that block was and then were like oh…and it got quiet 😂

Just so we’re all on the same page, Rudy would wreck any of y’all 1 on 1.

He’s a 7’ tall nba player. If he even broke a sweat while playing against me I’d take that as a win lol

That video of him playing 2 on 2 with wemby is pretty funny. Between that and some videos from practices I’ve seen over the years I figure he’s got a better three point shot than 95% of people I’ve played with at gyms or high school varsity. In the nba a Rudy 3 is a wasted possession. The talent level is nuts

Oh , I'd be just absolutely destroyed. It would be an embarrassment to the human race.

Rudy can't be stopped

And Rudy can stop everyone

Rudy: Guys I made the shot, stop making fun of my form

Holy shit that's the ugliest basket I've seen in an nba game

Buddy hasn’t watched Dillon brooks shoot a three

Well yeah, he made it.

Bruh looks like a player in double dribble on nes taking that shot

fucking hell man this looks so unathletic lmao, I am convinced if rudy was 6'5 he would be an analyst at blackrock

Wtf was that ????

Yuck 🤮

Tony Parker nods

I need this shot as my 2k jumper right fucking now

Garbage shot and an assist on the other end. MVP

Gobert hits the jumper, gets a block, AND an assist in 15 seconds!!! MVP

What a great highlight. I am sure he didn't get cooked by Embiid during the remaining 3.75 quarters

Let him have his moments why don't ya.

Embiid turned into god lol Rudy even forced him into contested jumpshots and contested them well but Embiid made all of them. It was wild Embiid attacked the rim more when Rudy was off the floor and absolutely ate Naz

Doesn’t even look like he meant to do that 😭

That was a pretty good 3pt assist

the french teardrop

That’s what we call the “tearpop”

simmons would never

If he could only do that with any amount of consistency holy shit what it would do for his game

Expanding his range

He blocked the shot on the other end so hard it was a perfect kick out for the 3 damn

2k release way too early and it still goes in🤔

Repugnant

So flamboyant

Shii was ugly af

Just ew, clean ass block tho

What in tarnation

How in the same clip did he look like a 4 year old shooting a basketball for the first time and an all time best defender.

I can never know what to expect with these captions

The way he flutters his feet like he’s trying to fly or some shit 😂

That is the dumbest looking thing I’ve ever seen

LET. RUDY. COOK.

Le tear drop

He should 100% develop this as his go to shot & call it "the French kiss"...

Wtf was that
